Pre-1600 English Ballads: The Database

This information was mostly culled from Livingston's British
Broadside Ballads of the 16th Century: A Catalogue of the Extant
Sheets and an Essay. I typed in info about all the ballads for
which music is known. In addition, there are non-broadside ballads,
but I haven yet to find a good index of them.
